README
We don't want our websites to be down because the cache backend used, e.g. "redis" or "memcached" has a temporary issue. Instead, the page should be loaded, but trigger warnings and errors and such, but still render a page without active caches.
For this reason, we provide Cache Backends which simply catch all Exceptions.
We use this for High Availability projects, where a Redis sentinel cluster is not available but a Redis service is running on each application server to ensure that TYPO3 does never throw a 50x HTTP error because of a caching issue.
Installation
When running TYPO3 in Composer Mode composer req b13/graceful-cache
or
download the extension "graceful_cache" via the Extension Manager
from extensions.typo3.org.
Configuration
Use this in your LocalConfiguration.php or AdditionalConfiguration.php to e.g. reconfigure the "pages" Cache (or "cache_pages" prior to TYPO3 v10) to run with the graceful Redis Cache Backend:
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['caching']['cacheConfigurations']['pages']['backend'] = \B13\GracefulCache\Backend\RedisCacheBackend::class;
Or configure with Memcached Cache Backend:
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['caching']['cacheConfigurations']['pages']['backend'] = \B13\GracefulCache\Backend\MemcachedCacheBackend::class;
